Does anyone have a good quick primer on Google Analytics?
I am just getting serious about marketing my site and I am having trouble tracking which campaigns are doing the best. I am creating content, using ads etc. All of it kind of gets blurred when I look at it in google analytics.
So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a getting started with google analytics guide so that I can better segment my campaigns and track them more effectively.
A good place to start is the Analytics Academy by Google: https://analytics.google.com/analytics/academy/
That's enough to become a power user in no time, for free ;-)
Thanks for that. I did have a look at the analytics academy, but I found it a little daunting and it looks like it will take a while to get comfortable with it. I was hoping for something shorter that I could read in an hour or two and get started with the basics of tracking a campaign and such without having to spend a few weeks learning.
Hey @pras2018
I am actually building a product that makes it so you don't have to learn google analytics. Plus, I am happy to help you get set up on the basics just for being a fellow Indie Hacker.
If you are interested, check out the site, https://insightswebanalytics.com/, and email me at jeremy.thiesen1@gmail.com
Best of luck!
That sounds interesting. I have been looking for a product that will simplify google analytics for a while. I will send you an email.
Hey @pras2018!
Looking forward to your email. I would love to hear what specifics in GA that you would like to see simplified!
I found incredibly useful the course by Pavel Brecik on Udemy
Thanks, I will check it out.
Hey @pras2018, I'm writing a book on analytics. Campaign performance in GA happens to be chapter 6.
Why me? I'm a veteran of billion-dollar e-commerce businesses including PlayStation and Rakuten.
